Researchers have demonstrated the smallest wavelength-tunable laser fabricated by microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology. The laser features a wide tuning range which enables ...

New work leveraging machine learning could increase the efficiency of optical telecommunications networks. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, fiber optic cables offer the ability to ...

As the amount of data grows, so does interest in silicon photonics. There is no better way to move data than with light. It’s faster, requires less energy, and generates less heat. The main trouble ...

Coherence is the degree to which waves are in phase with each other and thus have the potential to interfere predictably. It underpins coherent quantum communications, in which interference between ...

The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) is the optical networking industry’s non-profit forum for creating interoperability standards for electrical, optical, and control with the goal to promote ...

Under the agreement, the two institutions will jointly work on developing standards, conducting research and contributing to ...

In his lab in Sunnyvale, CA, ­David Welch, cofounder of telecom startup Infinera, holds up a rigid two-­centimeter-wide strip featuring four patterned, gold-colored rectangles. It’s made of indium ...

Fujitsu announced that it has started offering FUJITSU Network 1FINITY T250, a disaggregation-type optical transmission solution to achieve the IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) ...
